Among all the negative news going about in Bollywood news circles, another storm has erupted in the industry between Anurag Kashyap and Ranvir Shorey. The latter has given a sly jibe to the filmmaker on Twitter calling him a ‘mainstream Bollywood flunky’ among other things, calling out the ‘hypocrisy’ of how ‘many independent film crusaders’ have stopped ranting against the ‘system’ once they gained ‘entry into the pearly gates of Bollywood’, and in response, Kashypa, being Kashyap, directly asked the actor to ‘say exactly’ what he means and ‘whose flunky is who’.
Taking to his official Twitter handle, Ranvir Shorey wrote: “So many independent-film-crusaders have turned mainstream-bollywood-flunkies now. These are the same people who used to rant 24/7 about the “system” for attention before they were given entry into the pearly gates of mainstream Bollywood.#Hypocrisymuch?” Check out his tweet below:
In his stinging response, Anurag Kashyap directly addressed Ranvir, writing: “Do you really mean that@RanvirShorey. If you do please explain . Please say exactly what you mean and whose flunky is who?” Check out his reply below:
Needless to say, this opened a can of worms on Twitter, with one user going as far as calling the Gangs of Wasseypur Director the ‘best example and puppet of Bollywood gang mafia.’ Never one to take things lying down, Kashyap resounded to him, too, in a couple of tweets.
मैंने आनंद राय को मदद की थी और financiers से मिलाया था । चाहे तो पूछ सकते हैं। मैं नाम ले कर बोल रहा हूँ और बोलूँगा जो सच है ।

मेरी रोटी Bollywood से नहीं चलती । मेरी फ़िल्म produce करने कोई Dharma, Excel या YRF या कोई studio नहीं आता । खुद नयी company बनानी पड़ती है और खुद बनाता हूँ। कंगना के पास जब कोई काम नहीं था तब Queen बनायीं थी। तनु weds मनु जब अटक गयी थी उसे खतम करने के लिए – cont https://t.co/3Va5kTQbha
